Summary
Clinical pharmacists reduce medication errors and optimise the use of medication in critically ill patients, although actual staffing level and deployment of UK pharmacists is unknown. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the UK deployment of the clinical pharmacy workforce in critical care and compare this with published standards.
The authors conclude that investment in pharmacy services is required to improve access to clinical pharmacy expertise at weekends, on MDT ward rounds and for other critical care activities.
